A reporter for a CBS affiliate in New York has died in a moped crash, the station announced.
CBS2 New York reporter Nina Kapur was riding as a passenger on a moped that crashed in Brooklyn on Saturday, police said. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where she died. The driver of the moped suffered minor injuries.
�We are heartbroken here at CBS2 as a member of our news family has passed away,� the station said in a statement. �Our thoughts and prayers are with Nina�s family. She will be missed.�
Police said Kapur was riding on a Revel scooter, part of a fleet of electric mopeds operated by a ride-sharing startup, when the driver swerved and both riders were thrown from the vehicle. The accident is under investigation.
The 26-year-old Kapur was a graduate of Syracuse University. She joined CBS2 last year after stints at WDVM TV in Maryland and News12 in Norwalk, Connecticut.
